For the very first time in Marine Money’s history, the 3rd Annual Korea Ship Finance Forum was held at the city of Busan, the heart of the world’s shipbuilding industry and the region home to seven of the world’s top ten shipbuilders. Prior to the event, delegates had an exclusive opportunity to visit the impressive Hyundai Heavy Industries (“HHI”) – the world’s largest shipbuilder. 240 delegates active in the Korean market gathered together and discussed on the today’s challenges and future opportunities.
The keynote presenter Dr. Keo Don Oh, President from the Korea Maritime University started the day by stressing the importance for China, Japan and Korea to work closely together. Dr. Oh noted that there have been discussions on the possibility of setting up a North East Asia Development Bank recently and he believes this could likewise be extended to the creation of a ship finance body to foster closer ties between shipping and shipbuilding industries in Northeast Asia.
